FS25 Slow Steering V2.1

What does the mod do?
In vanilla Farming Simulator 25, vehicles steer just as aggressively at 80 km/h as when maneuvering. This is unrealistic and feels sluggish on a keyboard/gamepad.
Slow Steering links the steering angle, steering speed, and return-to-center response to the vehicle speed—at higher speeds, the steering becomes smoother and more precise, and you won’t lose control in the first roundabout.
At Slow Speed At Full Speed
Full Steering Movement Available Reduced Maximum Steering Angle
Fast Response Smoother, More Precise Inputs
Fast Return Delayed Return
Direct Input With “Servo Effort” — Steering Time Increases

The Slow Steering V2.1 mod for Farming Simulator 25 aims to improve the realism and responsiveness of vehicle steering in the game. Here is a breakdown of what the mod does and its features:

1. **Realism Enhancement**: The mod adjusts the steering angle, speed, and return-to-center response based on the vehicle's speed. This makes steering smoother and more precise at higher speeds, preventing abrupt movements that can lead to loss of control, especially in situations like navigating roundabouts.

2. **Speed-Sensitive Adjustment**: The steering angle, speed, and return behavior scale with the vehicle's speed along a customizable curve. This means that steering becomes more controlled at higher speeds, reflecting real-life driving dynamics.

3. **Counter-Steering Damping**: Provides additional reduction when the vehicle is exiting a curve, enhancing stability during maneuvering.

4. **Input Dead Zone**: Filters out minor steering inputs, reducing unnecessary movement and ensuring more precise control over the vehicle.

5. **Input Curve**: Offers multiple input curve options, with an exponential curve that provides smoother steering inputs, especially suitable for keyboard or gamepad users.

6. **Servo Effort Simulation**: Simulates the increase in steering effort required at higher speeds, mimicking the behavior of a vehicle without power steering.

7. **Brake Force Scaling**: Optional feature to adjust braking force for added realism, allowing players to fine-tune the braking behavior of the vehicles.

8. **Polished In-Game UI**: The mod includes a user-friendly interface with tabs for different settings categories, live curve diagram display, preset options, sliders for adjusting values, on/off indicators, help text for each setting, reset options, and live preview of the steering curve adjustments.

9. **HUD Display**: Offers customizable HUD elements such as position, colored bar indicating steering input intensity, speed indicator, and configurable opacity.

Overall, Slow Steering V2.1 enhances the gameplay experience by making vehicle steering more realistic, responsive, and adjustable to suit different player preferences and playstyles.
